He experienced firsthand how important swimming is in this world.

He made up his mind that no matter what devil fruit he would eat in the future, he would never eat it.

After checking his belongings, the phone bugs and guns that the navy had plundered were all thrown into the sea.

There was only a knife, his purse containing 7 beli, and some tools.

Walking into the dark streets of the seaside town in the heavy rain, only one tavern shop still had its lights on.

Arthas walked in carrying his chest bag and weapons.

As soon as he entered the tavern, Alsace was keenly aware that there were bullet holes in the walls, tables and chairs.

Someone must have caused trouble before.

The waiter and owner of the tavern were cleaning. When they saw Alsace who suddenly came in, they immediately greeted:

“不好意思每^日.发!书,群【6`5,0/5^0”2*3>3.8】这个客人,我们酒馆已经打烊了。”

"Is there a place to stay?" Alsace asked, "There is nowhere to go tonight. I have money."

A teenager? Looks like he's in trouble? The tavern owner looked at it carefully.

Since you have money, you will naturally start a business.

"One thousand beli allows you to live here for one day." The boss offered the price.

"It's so expensive. How about making it cheaper?" Alsace wanted to bargain.

A thousand beli? This was the year 1503 of the Haiyuan calendar, and monetary inflation was not as serious as it would be seventeen years later.

"This is what you asked me for, young man. We were originally closed." The boss firmly wanted to kill Alsace.

Alsace immediately explained: "A general tavern room only costs 300 to 500 beli. You really know how to do business, boss."

"If you can't stay here, you can go out and find another place."

The owner of this tavern is a small-time gang leader. Because a short boy caused trouble during the day, he could not get compensation for his losses.

In order to seek shelter, Alsace had no choice but to open his chest and show his financial strength.

He put a few Bailey coins on the table and said, "Okay, what's the room number? Are meals included?"

"Room 2 on the 1nd floor. You can move in by yourself without closing the door. Breakfast is included in the room tomorrow morning."

Alsace, who said no more, was exhausted and went upstairs with his knife.

He was hungry and tired and didn't want to cause trouble in this state.

Seeing Alsace leave honestly, the bartender came to the boss:

"Boss, this kid carries a knife with him."

"Knife? In the four towns of the Yobru Kingdom, only the barrel of a gun is king, and swords don't count."

"Okay, I'll close the door."

"Look at how wet and miserable he is, how can he still use a knife?"

There are four towns ruled by gangsters in the Yobru Kingdom, namely the southeast, northwest and northwest.

There are wars between gangs every day, and the town where Alsace is located is a southern town.

The next morning.

The sun slowly rises above the horizon, illuminating the entire island.

A cockcrow woke Alsace from his sleep. He subconsciously pinched the wrinkled quilt and said, "I don't want to wake up..."

When he reacted, he realized that he was pinching the quilt.

Otherwise, it will hurt others.

In Room 2-1 of the tavern, Alsace, whose dream was shattered, hugged his pillow and didn't even want to get up.

His stomach, which had been empty for two days, forced him to give up staying in bed.

He narrowed his eyes and stared at the ceiling of the room: "Xiao Ai, what time is it?"

[10:38 am. 】The electronic voice in his mind replied to him, and Goldfinger's voice would appear directly in his mind without being monitored by anyone.

It’s already so early…

After briefly washing up, Alsace was attracted by the bustle downstairs. He hadn't heard such a sound for a week.

I couldn't wait to eat in the tavern and watch the excitement at the same time, but my body was very weak without eating.

He inserted the knife into his left waist, put his chest bag on his shoulder and went downstairs to sit at the bar with narrowed eyes.

“Breakfast…old…”

boom--

Suddenly a gunshot broke the lively atmosphere of the tavern.

A short man wearing a red suit vest, a stubble on his face, and an octagonal hat walked in with a gun in both hands.

"Damn it, it's that guy Capone Becky who's here again to cause trouble."

Others in the pub fled, and some gang members

Capone Becky?

One of the future supernovas?

The moment Alsace heard the gunfire, he had already rolled over and hid behind the bar.

Oh boy, there's food ready in the cabinet behind the bar.

"Let me rule you underground parties from here on out."

"How outrageous, Becky, you are going to die here today."

Gang members in the tavern drew their guns to resist Capone Becky's lone attack.

Conflict is about to break out.

"Hey, brat, don't eat secretly." The boss also squatted down to avoid the bullets, and was still looking for something on the cabinet, but couldn't find it.

Ignoring the boss's warning, Alsace directly picked up the food and started eating: "You promised me early in the morning that one thousand beli includes breakfast."

As expected, it was a town where gangs were rampant, so it really surprised him that someone was fighting so early in the morning.

Seeing Alsace eating food so calmly amidst the hail of bullets, the tavern owner began to doubt Alsace's ability.

Young Becky shouted outside the tavern: "Instead of following this little boss hiding behind the bar, why not swear to me immediately, maybe you can avoid death."

Relying on her superb marksmanship, Becky, who shot and killed other people in the tavern, began to win over people.

The gunfire stopped completely, and the gang members who were afraid of being killed by Becky, a madman, began to turn their heads.

"Bei...Boss Beki, don't shoot, I'm relying on you."

"They changed their tune so quickly. They seem to be a bunch of sensible guys."

Chapter 5 Mutual Use

Soon, the gunfire in the tavern stopped as people took refuge in Becky.

Behind the bar, Alsace smiled when he saw the frightened boss: "You turn out to be the boss."

How did such a timid person become the boss and shrink like this in this world?

"Come out, Aoife, I'm going to chop off your head to show off your power." Becky's voice got closer and closer.

Until Alsace appeared in his ears, he stood up from behind the bar with the tavern owner with a gun to his head.

The boss raised his hands and said, "Don't shoot, Becky. Just say whatever you want."

The boss, held at gunpoint, tried to negotiate.

"When you have a gun pointed at your head, you have no bargaining leverage, Aoife."

With a wild and confident smile on her face, Becky suddenly noticed Alsace holding a pizza in his mouth:

"Is this guy your son? Aoife."

These words made Arza frown, why did he become his son?

Could he still be the son of a middle-aged Western man with his ancient face and long hair?

"How the hell do I have a son?!" the tavern owner responded to Becky.

This guy is so calm in the face of this situation. He doesn't look like Aoife's son if he is so handsome, right?

Still carrying a knife with you?

Ji began to look at Alsace's whole body, the muzzle of his gun was pointed at the boss's chin, and he said deliberately:

"How to prove it? I think if you kill your father and son like this, it will be easy to establish authority in this town."

Arthas never expected that he would encounter the supernova who would be called the 'Godfather' in the future here.

He found the right opportunity to speak: "I can cut off his head for you, Becky, to prove that I am just a guest."

"What are you talking about, kid? I took you in during the rainstorm last night."

"Take in? One thousand beli for one night, how good is it to take in?"

Tavern owner: "..."

Thinking of the treatment given to Alsace last night, he was speechless.

Hearing Alsace's surprising words, Becky suddenly became interested in him.

"Oh? Do you really dare to take action?"

Becky, who was very interested, waved to the other men who had just withdrawn, and motioned for them to put their guns down from Alsace's head.

In just an instant, Alsace quickly drew his sword and his aura changed, and he slashed the tavern owner's neck with the sword.

Drawing the knife and swinging it, the whole process only takes about one second, clean and neat.

With a 'dong' sound, the head fell to the ground.

This scene shocked everyone else, including Becky.

If Alsace had wanted to kill him just now, he probably wouldn't have been able to react.

The corners of his mouth curled up, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He picked up the head of the tavern owner from the ground and placed it on the bar.

How could he let go of such a talent when he just debuted? He had to use it to his advantage.

Putting the knife into its scabbard, Alsace still had some lingering fears about killing people.

This is the second person he has killed in so many years since he came to the pirate world.

If he didn't kill, he would be shot in the head, so he had no choice.

"How old are you? What's your name, kid?" Becky asked in shock afterwards.

"15 years old, name Alsace."

"Haha, what a nice guy."

From Alsace's bottomless eyes, Becky seemed to have the illusion of being seen through her heart.

Then he asked: "I have just debuted, do you want to follow me and do something big, Alsace?"

Faced with Becky's invitation, Alsace was really surprised.

Thinking that there is nowhere to go now, it would be nice to stay with him and grow up slowly.

"I'm a loner, Becky, but since it's you who invited me, I'll say yes."

In this case, Alsace felt that he had to step aside, otherwise his life might be in jeopardy if he regretted it.

"That's great, Boss Becky, this guy just took out the knife so fast."

"Then let's take this town first, and then conquer other towns."

"So... who will be the boss? I feel that Alsace is so strong..."

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Of course Mrs. Becky is the boss."

Some of the mafia gangsters who had just taken refuge with Becky were a little happy. Joining the young man who was quick with knives and cruel was a great help to them.
